Chapter 22 Guardian Knight(1/2)

On the Dongdu Loop Line, 21 trains were still speeding at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, with no signs of stopping. Passengers on the train had already fallen into panic. Some were begging to get off, while others grabbed the conductor and yelled or even

Take action.

There is only less than half an hour until the sun sets!

"Brother Maori, haven't you figured out any way to find the bomb?" The helpless Megure Police Department couldn't help shouting to the famous detective beside him.

Mouri Kogoro frowned and thought hard, but still couldn't find a clue.

At this moment, the phone from the Mumu Police Department suddenly rang. He suppressed his annoyance and answered it: "Hello, this is Mumu."

"Police Department, I am Kudo Shinichi!"

The voice on the other end of the phone almost brought tears to Megure Police Department's eyes. He immediately forgot his previous slander against Kudo Shinichi and said with great excitement: "Oh, it's you, Kudo-kun! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The police department at Memu didn't feel ashamed at all to have to ask a high school student for help, and his tone was as if he had seen a real savior.

Conan was already familiar with the startled tone of the Megure Police Department, and he began to reason without wasting a second: "I have heard everything from Dr. Agasa. The correct location of the bomb is between the railway tracks.

Time! Those five bombs have been designed by the prisoners so that if the bombs do not hit the light for a few seconds, they will detonate. If the circular line train passes over the bomb, the entire train will pass completely and the light will be blocked for a few seconds.

Time is blocked...so police officers please ask the Circle Line train to move to other tracks immediately. As long as the train leaves the Circle Line track, there will be no danger of stopping!"

Seeing that the time of the explosion predicted by the prisoner was approaching, the Megure Police Department had no way of taking action after careful investigation, not to mention that Kudo Shinichi's reasoning was already the most likely scenario at present.

So under an order, all the trains on the circular line left the circular line one after another, slowed down, and stopped. Every second, people who knew about it were on tenterhooks with the fear that an explosion would occur next moment. But

Finally, the last train stopped safely at the station, and everyone cheered loudly. Immediately afterwards, the Mumu Police Department sent a large number of police officers to search for the bomb installed between the tracks.

…………………………

A small stack of cards was placed on the table in the Metropolitan Police Department conference room, and everyone looked solemn.

Conan knelt on the chair, stretched out his hand to pull the cards over, and looked at them one by one.

【I have accepted the gift here.】

There are four cards with the same sentence written on them.

There is only one card that says: [A small gift for all of you who work hard.]

In the lower right corner of each card, there is a silhouette of a cat drawn with black pen. Although there is only a simple outline, it is very expressive and allows people to easily distinguish the type of cat. There are short-haired cats, fold-eared cats, and short-haired cats.

Tailed cats, Persian cats and ragdoll cats.

Conan picked up the folded-eared cat card with a different message and asked: "Police Department, why is the message on this card different from the others?"

"Because there was a bomb only where this card was placed, and it had been defused when we found it. The bombs in other places should have been taken away. In addition, this bomb is a ****, and it seems that the prisoner

He is not lying when he claims to be the person who stole explosives from a warehouse of Japanese fire medicine."

"Oh...is that so?" Conan said thoughtfully.

Everyone was discussing the possible identity and motives of the prisoner. Conan looked over several cards over and over for a while, and suddenly asked: "Police department, where is the bomb where this card is located?"

"Where?" Megure Police Department scratched his head, "By the way, it is installed on the Sumida Canal Bridge."

"Sumida Canal Bridge?" Conan always felt that the name seemed familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly recalled - isn't this the bridge he saw in Professor Moritani's exhibition room?

At the same time, he also quickly remembered that several buildings where arson cases occurred recently seemed to have been seen in Professor Moritani's exhibition room... all of them were Teiji Moritani's works in his early 30s!

…………………………

"This is what happened. We believe that the criminals may have committed crimes against the works you designed. Professor Moritani, do you know what could possibly be responsible for committing these crimes?"

The group hurriedly found the Moritani family, and the Megure Police Department told them what happened and the speculations guided by Conan, and then asked.

"Well..." Moritani Teiji looked like he was thinking.

When no one was paying attention to him, Conan went out quietly and went to the exhibition room and other places to check. He found the hidden microscopic model of "Nishitama City in my dream" and deduced that Professor Moritani was responsible for stealing, stealing and bombing.

Drug, the criminal who designed this bomb notice.

But...what about the evidence?

Conan searched inside and out, and then went to other rooms to search, and suddenly noticed that the door of one room seemed a little strange - the door was pushed open a small crack, and a little piece of white paper was vaguely exposed.

Conan instantly thought of the guy who stole bombs and liked to draw cats!

He ran over and gently opened the door and saw that what was on the ground was not the card he thought, but a document. He casually scanned the contents on it, which had nothing to do with this case.

But...such documents are very important, why did they fall on the ground?

Conan took the paper in and wanted to put it on the table, but suddenly he saw a door that was pushed open a crack inside the room.

He hesitated for a second between "exit politely" and "see what's inside". The detective's curiosity made him reach out his little hand and forcefully push the low door open.

This door is extremely strong, and you can feel its heavy weight, but there is almost no sound when it is pushed open.

Conan walked in the door. It was very dark inside. He turned on the flashlight on his watch and took a look:

Sunglasses, wigs, fake beards and other items used for cross-dressing were randomly thrown on the ground.

One who cut the thread.

A familiar card.

The light of the flashlight shone around - nothing.

Conan only made a general observation and knew that the thickness of the door, the combination lock on the side, and the internal structure all indicated that this should be Moritani Teiji's vault.

But...an empty vault?

Conan looked at the card on the ground, took a deep breath, and his eyes became more determined.

——If it’s just stealing property, forget it, even steal bombs! What on earth does that guy want to do?!

After swearing bitterly in his heart that he would definitely catch that guy, Conan was careful not to touch the evidence on the ground. He summoned Officer Megure and others to the exhibition room with a phone call in the voice of Kudo Shinichi, and deduced that Emperor Moritani

The second one is the real murderer. When Moritani asked the usual question: "Where's the evidence? Do you have any evidence?", Conan asked everyone to move to the room where the vault was located, so that they could see the so-called evidence with their own eyes.

Moritani Teiji once wanted to detonate the bomb he had installed in the house, but the battery of the detonator had been taken away by the bomb disposal expert Conan.

At the same time, the bomb he thought was still somewhere in the house was actually gone.

Moritani Teiji was successfully arrested, and everyone in the Megure Police Department breathed a sigh of relief. Motonori took out the evidence bag and carefully put all the evidence in it.

Moritani Teiji didn't pay attention at first, but after a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He pushed away the policeman who grabbed him, and stood at the door of the vault. His whole body suddenly froze.

——Where is his money?

What about gold bars?

What about your collection of precious gems?

What about the antique calligraphy and paintings that you finally bought?

In the empty vault, there seemed to be a gust of cold wind blowing in from the cracks in the wall - although he also knew that the vault was airtight, he still felt cold all over his body.

"Kudo Shinichi..."

Conan was thinking about reviewing the entire case when he suddenly heard a faint voice calling his name and couldn't help but shudder.

I saw Teiji Moritani, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, whispering with a terrifying expression: "That guy asked you fools to attract my attention and sneaked into my house to look for clues, right? The famous one

I didn’t expect that a high school detective can pick locks. But...can a detective steal other people’s property?”

Conan hurriedly defended: "You're talking nonsense! Brother Shinichi won't steal other people's things!"

Regarding his childlike words, Moritani Teiji just sneered and didn't bother to pay attention.

"cough."

At the critical moment, Brother Kudo from the Megure Police Department stood up to support him. After coughing, he said: "You have indeed misunderstood this point. The person who stole the vault was not Kudo Shinichi, but the Phantom Thief Shadow Cat!"

——In previous incidents, Conan had used this nickname of his own to call the unknown thief. As word spread, "Shadow Cat" has become an official title registered with the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Kaitou...Shadow Cat?" Teiji Moritani had an expression on his face that said "You think I'm stupid." Kaitou Kidd knew a little bit about him, but what the hell is Shadow Cat? Is there such a Phantom Thief? How come he hasn't heard of it?

?

"It's true..." Megure Police Department said: "This thief comes and goes without a trace, and only targets treasures worth more than 100 million yen. But unlike some thieves, he is very low-key, so

The outside world knows almost nothing about him. Besides..."

The Megure Police Department was about to say - all your bombs this time were stolen by him, but Moritani Teiji looked at the time and suddenly smiled proudly: "Hmm, hum, hum..."

"You've become a prisoner, what's so funny?" Mouri Kogoro looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"If you think this will be fine, you are totally wrong! Because there is another building I plan to destroy!"

Conan was shocked!

It was only then that he noticed that the Mihua Municipal Building, where he and Mao Lilan were dating tonight, was also designed by Teiji Moritani!

——Is it possible that perfect symmetry is not achieved there as well?

Emperor Moritani saw that they thought of the Mihua Municipal Building. After a moment of pride, he frowned again and said in a disgusted tone: "The reason why there is not enough construction funds because of the collapse of the bubble economy is simply ridiculous! Then!

This is the most failed work of my life! You people don’t understand my aesthetics at all! It’s one minute until ten o’clock, so just enjoy it, the really exciting things are yet to come!”

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked! But...the emotions of shock and worry just bubbled up and disappeared unconsciously.
To be continued...
